The Cicely Saunders Annual Lecture: 'Clinical interventions to enhance the expectation of healing: continuing on the pathway of Dame Cicely'

St Catherine's Hospice, in partnership with Lancaster University, is hosting this prestigious lecture via live interactive web link.
A review of clinical research on how the delivery of palliative care can be more effective by making changes in the physical environment (ambient music, no waiting room), measuring symptoms, posture (sitting vs. standing), communication style, physical exam, giving prompt sheets and audio recording and phone care interventions.

This event is part of the Dame Cicely Saunders: Celebrating the continuation of her life's work events programme. It is free to attend, but spaces are limited and must be reserved. Contact St Catherine's direct to register a place: education@stcatherines.co.uk

Alternatively, those who have registered with our group can join us remotely via WebEx video conferencing. Full details can be found on the right of this page.

Online Seminar Access

We make use of a video conferencing application called WebEx.

This software can run as a small installation on your computer, (like Skype), or can run as a 'script' within your web browser, provided that your browser is set to run active scripts. The latter option is very helpful for those who are unable to install software on their computer because admin rights have been removed.

The next online meeting can be accessed by clicking the WebEx symbol below
on the day of the seminar only. (You will need to use the password provided in the reminder email sent to you as a registered member one week before the next seminar.Contact Anthony Greenwood if you did not receive this).
